unhealthy habits

Harmful routine behaviors

Unhealthy habits are behaviors repeated regularly that harm physical or mental well-being: smoking, excessive drinking, poor sleep, sedentary living, overeating.

The phrase emphasizes pattern over incident—a single late night isn't an unhealthy habit, but chronic sleep deprivation is.

I'm trying to break some unhealthy habits before they catch up with me.
